Women's Beach-volley: outfits and balls
Light, fitted and designed for diving without holding back, the women's beach-volley outfit puts movement comfort first, and it has its own style, from the sports bra to the fitted shorts.
The page brings together players' fabrics, beach socks, equipment, and sandballs, including several models designed for women's play.
Sports bras, briefs or shorts: the players' outfit
On the sand, players generally wear a sports bra and fitted briefs or shorts. These pieces move with every movement without riding up or hindering a dive. Choose a bra that provides good support for repeated jumps, and a bottom that stays in place when you defend close to the sand.
Tank tops and swimsuits for cooler days
When the wind picks up or at the start of the season, a tank top or light swimsuit provides a bit of coverage. The beach top in the colours of the French team, signed Errea, will please fans of the Blues. The Mikasa shorts complete the training outfit.
Women's beach balls
Molten offers two beach balls designed for women's play, the V5B5000, certified by the FIVB, and the V5B1500, available individually or in packs. Mixed balls from Wilson, like the OPTX AVP from the American professional circuit, also have a place in a player's bag.
Sand Socks, nets and accessories
The beach socks Sand Socks protect your feet when the sand is hot or cold. Nets, posts and markings are available for players setting up their own court. These accessories are described as unisex: they are suitable for everyone.

Frequently asked questions
What outfit should I wear for a women's beach-volleyball tournament?
A sports bra and fitted briefs or shorts are the most common outfit. The rules of each tournament may specify the expected attire. Also, bring a tank top for matches later in the day.
How do I choose the size of a beach bra?
Measure your underbust and refer to the size guide on the product page. The bra should support without compressing your breathing. If you are between sizes, the smaller size stays better during jumps.
Can a beach outfit also be used for swimming?
Some pieces can handle water, but they are primarily made for sand sports. Rinse them off after a sea dip, the salt can wear out the fibres. For frequent swimming, a swimsuit is more suitable.
Is a special ball required for women's beach volleyball?
Molten offers beach balls marketed as women's, but tournaments often require a specific model. Check with the organizer. For leisure, any good beach ball should do.
How can I avoid chafing from the sand?
Choose smooth fabrics and flat seams that trap fewer grains. Shake out your outfit between matches. Well-fitted shorts or briefs also help limit sand entering.
